May You Be Blessed

May you be blessed
with all things good.

May your joys,
like the stars at night,
be too numerous to count.

May your victories
be more abundant
than all the grains of sand
on all the beaches,
on all the oceans,
in all the world.

May lack and struggle
only serve to make you stronger
and may beauty, order
and abundance
be your constant companions.

May every pathway
you choose lead to that which
is pure and good and lovely.

And may every doubt and fear
be replaced by a deep abiding trust
as you behold evidence
of a Higher Power all around you.

And when there is only darkness
and the storms of life
are closing in,
may the light at the core of
your being illuminate the world.

May you always be aware you are
loved beyond measure and may you
be willing to love
unconditionally in return.

May you always feel protected and
cradled in the arms of God
like the cherished child you are.
And when you are tempted to judge
may you be reminded
that we are all ONE and
that every thought you think
reverberates across the universe,
touching everyone
and everything.

And when you are
tempted to hold back,
may you remember
that love flows best
when it flows freely
and it is in giving that
we receive the greatest gift.

May you always have
music and laughter
and may a rainbow
follow every storm.

May gladness wash away
every disappointment,
may joy dissolve every sorrow,
and may love ease every pain.
May every wound bring wisdom,
and may every trial bring triumph
and with each passing day,
may you live more abundantly
than the day before.

May you be blessed and may others
be blessed by you.
This is my heartfelt wish for you.
